How to calculate how much energy converted from Solar Energy to Electricity?

Dear All,

How can I calculate how much energy converted from Solar Energy to Electricity? Does it based on the how strong of the sunlight? Does it based on how many solar cell? Any detail equations for this purpose?

Thanks a lot.

   Taken from wiki:

   “At solar noon on a clear March or September equinox day, the solar radiation at the equator is about 1000 W/m2. Hence, the “standard” solar radiation (known as the “air mass 1.5 spectrum”) has a power density of 1000 watts per square meter. Thus, a 12% efficiency solar cell having 1 m² of surface area in full sunlight at solar noon at the equator during either the March or September equinox will produce approximately 120 watts of peak power.”

   I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills.
